I carefully lowered my voice, trying not to rm Dn as I asked, “Dn, can you exin why Denise suddenly attacked you?”


    Dn shook his head, his eyes wide with confusion.


    “I don’t know.


    ”


    Persisting, I asked, “Did she seem unusual when she sneaked into the room?”


    After a moment of contemtion, Dn answered, “I remember when Denise came in, she saw me drawing a family photo and tore it angrily.


    She said I didn’t take her seriously and shouldn’t have treated you as my mom.


    ”


    I found myself utterly bewildered.


    Denise possessed an uncanny knack for concealing her true intentions.


    Rash decisions weren’t her style.


    It struck me as exceedingly peculiar that she would resort to harming Dn over a mere drawing.


    I couldn’t make heads or tails of it and inquired with a hint of skepticism, “Is that all?”


    Dn paused, his gaze eventually dropping to the floor.


    “In fact, when my situation went bad, it was because she tampered with my medicine.


    I always know she’s not my real mother.


    But she brought me up, so I wanted to let her go.


    But I didn’t expect she would be angry like that and took me as a hostage.


    ”


    Suddenly, the pieces of the puzzle clicked into ce.


    It all made sense now.


    Dn was smart and kind-hearted.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    While Caleb and I harbored suspicions about Denise, Dn had already pieced together the truth.


    Despite the way his vicious foster mother had treated him, he still harbored a desire to let her go.


    He probably clung to hope for Denise until the rooftop fiasco just moments ago.


    I gave Dn’s shoulder a reassuring pat and said with genuine concern, “Dn, you made the right choice.


    It’s not your fault.

    Caleb, however, viewed the situation through a different lens.


    His surprise was evident as he inquired, “Dn, you and Denise have never had a particrly close rtionship for years.


    Is it because you’ve known all along that she isn’t your real mother?”


    Dn nodded and said, “That’s right.


    ”


    Caleb was left dumbfounded.


    After a brief pause, he queried, “How did youe to realize this?”


    Dn pressed his lips together and a nostalgic smile graced his face.


    He seemed to be reminiscing about a cherished memory.


    With a hint of embarrassment, he exined, “I used to have dreams about my mother, and there was another kinddy in those dreams.


    They were both strikingly beautiful and exuded gentleness.


    Their hair and eyes were the same color.


    They both felt familiar,pletely unlike Denise.


    I couldn’t sense my mother’s unique qualities in Denise.


    ”


    Dn’s words sent a jolt of excitement through me.
